You can replace the type arguments required to invoke the constructor of a generic class

with an empty set of type arguments (<>) as long as the compiler can determine, or infer, the type arguments from the context.

This pair of angle brackets, <>, is informally called the diamond.

For example, you can create an instance of Box with the following statement:

Box integerBox = new Box<>();
